I’ve watched four episodes, and every one of them is hugely entertaining and frequently surprising.

“Love” seems like a strong word, but there’s a lot to enjoy here. Norm Macdonald Has a Show is a very meticulous mess, built with the opposite of frills.

Fonda’s guest appearance is head-and-shoulders the best of the four I’ve seen. In fact, Episode 1, with David Spade featured, is so excruciatingly bad that you’re better off skipping it entirely. ... If you’re a Norm Macdonald fanatic, and there likely aren’t very many of those, it’s best to watch this show while you still can.

For fans of Macdonald’s comedy, this will feel right in his wheelhouse. But it’s hard to get away from the sense that Macdonald doesn’t particularly care, and that he is its only intended audience.

It’s incredibly frustrating to watch a comic once defined by his sharp commentary wander so aimlessly through this show just because he can. Even if the question of how Macdonald got this show is easily answered, the question of why anyone outside he and his diehards fans should bother with it never is.

Norm Macdonald Has a Show, his new Netflix series, is pretty terrible. It's labor-intensive to get through. In the moments when it's disastrously bad, you wonder if that's the joke; given that Macdonald is notoriously adherent to anti-jokes and anti-stories as a conceit, it's at least a possibility. But no. ... Norm Macdonald Has a Show is a painful thing to watch.

Hands down best comedy show on netflix. Spoiler, if you are easily offended then you will be. This is a true comedy opposed to political clapmedy on the other "witty" netflix comedy shows. This is a hit, and a shame the season is so short.

I've never been a Norm McDonald fan. I have to say I find it very refreshing! You never know how the guest is going to respond and that's what I like about it. Also, the guests seem to get pretty real.

The show is quite difficult to make it through. It really feels like only his guests actually show up and make any effort. Spade could have taken it over and the show would have been better for it.

This review is based on one episode only - the David Spade debacle. I don't know if I can stomach another but if I do I will try and stay open minded. For now all I can say is that this was painful and cringey to watch. I was embarrassed for Norm and felt terrible for Spade who had to endure interruption after interruption while Norm seemed to be more interested in whatever the next question he had written down than whatever David had to say. But I must say Spade took the multiple indignities like the pro he is. He's the one who should have his own talk show - look at the clip of him interviewing Courtney Cox and tell me that's not 1000% better than this piece of crap. And get rid of that useless sidekick - Adam Eget - he adds nothing to the show - in fact he detracts from it - "do you have any questions you'd like to ask David?" "No, not right now." And finally, to end the show with that lame Wayne and Shuster song from the '80's - Jesus! I was very disappointed to see David Letterman's names in the credits. He must be hiding in his own beard for shame.

Norm Macdonald does the same shtick as he has always done. If you like his "comedy", you'll like this, if you don't like his humor, you won't like it. I watched this hoping that Norm had changed, he hasn't. It's still $h1t on a stick.
